Scale

Dry Mix Ingredients

4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 cup instant nonfat dry milk
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 tablespoons baking powder
1 tablespoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt

For Preparing Waffles

1 cup prepared waffle mix
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon melted butter
Nonstick spray or additional butter for greasing the waffle iron

Instructions

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly stir together the all-purpose flour, instant nonfat dry milk, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt until evenly combined.
Store Mix: Transfer the combined dry mixture into a large airtight container and store it at room temperature until ready to use.
Preheat Waffle Iron: When ready to make waffles, preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat to ensure proper cooking and browning.
Prepare Waffle Batter: In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of the waffle mix with 1/2 cup of water and 1 tablespoon of melted butter. Mix until the batter is smooth and free of lumps; this amount will make approximately 3 to 4 waffles.
Grease Waffle Iron: Lightly coat the waffle iron with nonstick spray or brush it with butter to prevent sticking during cooking.
Cook Waffles: Pour 1/4 to 1/2 cup of batter onto the center of the heated waffle iron, being careful not to overfill. Close the lid and cook the waffles until they are golden brown and crisp, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
Serve: Carefully remove the waffles and serve immediately with syrup or your favorite toppings for a delicious breakfast.

Notes

The waffle mix can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
You can add vanilla extract, cinnamon, or other flavorings to the batter for a twist on the flavor.
For crispier waffles, increase cooking time slightly but watch carefully to prevent burning.
Adjust water and butter quantities slightly if batter is too thick or thin for your waffle iron.
Waffles are best served fresh but can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated in a toaster.
